I don't believe Mahomes would be on the field if the Chiefs' leadership and training staff didn't believe he could play like his normal self. The Chiefs understand what he means to the franchise, so they aren't going to jeopardize his long-term health just to get him on the field for opening night.

Mahomes cleared for season opener; expected to perform at normal level.

Mahomes tore his ACL in 2024, but Maurice Elston believes the Chiefs' leadership and training staff would not have cleared him for the field if they didn't believe he could perform at his normal level; the team is not jeopardizing his long-term health just to get him on the field for opening night. His return is critical to Kansas City's playoff viability—if Mahomes reaches the playoffs, he immediately becomes the quarterback no other team wants to face.
